Abstract

The main cause for excessive algae and aquatic plant growth in a pond or lake is an abundance of nutrients. Phosphorus and nitrogen combined with carbon dioxide are the main suppliers that can turn your pond from clean to green very quickly. All aquatic plants and algae make their own energy through photosynthesis,which uses sunlight and carbon dioxide to create energy and oxygen as the by products. The other key ingredient to plant growth and health is nutrients, the main two being phosphorus and nitrogen. Algae growth advantages and disadvantages. The objective of this study is to determine the factors that influence the growth of algae in the water. In this study also to formulate a material inhibits growth of algae in the fishponds. Parameters that are looking like COD, TSS and NH 3 . Other parameters such as pH is to be determined as well. A total of 3 samples was taken for each week were conducted in this study. From the results of this study, the content of the algae grew when acquiring these three factors, namely, sunlight, oxygen and nutrient content enough. The results showed that the COD is decreased in every week. TSS values decreased as the content of the algae grows and cannot pass through the filter. Although the results- of NH-3 shows that the increase and decrease in the last 3 weeks. The NH-3 should increase with the increase due to the growth of algae in the water. From experiment the water increase alkaline water and the highest value is 6.82. Generally, the algae increase in the water if the factors that influence of the growth sufficient and enough.
